CARL BAGHEM, OF PFORZHEIM, BADEN, GERMANY, ASSIGNOB TO LORENZ BISSINGER, OF SAME PLACE.

COMBINED FIYNIGER AND SCARF RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 244,972, dated August 2, 1881.

A Application filed December 20,1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

- heim, in the Grand Duchy of Baden and Empire of Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in OombinedFinger and Scarf Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved construction of fin ger-rin gs, by which they can also be used in a convenient manner, without any extra fastening device, as scarf-rings; and the invention consistsin making the ring in five parts, which are hinged together in such a manner that the two hinged sections opposite to the central stone setting may be sprung inwardly for use as a scarf-ring.

The hinged sections adjoining the stone setting are provided with raised cheeks, which abut against the setting when throwing the remaining sections in outward or inward direction.

In the accompanying. drawings, Figures and 2 represent side views of my improved combined finger and scarf ring, shown respectively as arranged as a finger-ring and as a scarf-ring.

Similar-letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the main portion or stone setting of my improved finger and scarf ring, which carries the agate, diamond, or other stone.

To the setting A are hinged at each side adjoining sections B B, which, with the setting A, form the larger part of the circumference of the ring, the rem ainingpart of which is formed by two symmetrical arc-shaped sections, 0 G, that are hinged to each other and to the ends of the sections B B.

The hinges a a, by which the ring-sections B B and O G are jointed to each other and to the setting A, are so arranged that the sections 0 C may be thrown outwardly, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to form a circle with the side sections, B B, and admit the use of the ring as a finger-ring, or inwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, in which case the sections 0 0 form an angle between the side sections, B B, and reduce thereby the space inclosed by the sections, so

wardly or inwardly it is necessary to impart a slight spring-action to the side sections, B B, which is obtained by providing the same at the outside with raised checks 1), which abut against the sides of the setting when the change from the finger-ring to the scarf-ring, and vice versa, is made, so as to admit the yielding of the side sections suflicien tly for the outward or inward. springing of the sections 0 0.

Owing to the hinge-connection of the sections B B and G G, the ring fits the finger easier and better, as the sections adapt themselves to the shape of the same. When in use as a scarf-ring the inwardly-projectin g section binds on the scarf and holds the ring in position by the binding action of the side and end sections upon the scarf.

Havingthus described myinvention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A combined finger and scarf ring consisting of a central part or stone setting and of two side and of two closing sections, which sections are hinged to each other and to the setting so as to be adapted to be sprung outwardly or inwardly for use as a finger or scarf ring, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a combined finger and scarf ring, the combination of the central part or stone set ting with hinged adjoining sections having exterior abutments or cheeks, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of center portion, A, hinged side sections, B, having exterior abutting cheeks b b, and hinged closing sections 0 0, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as w my invention I have signed my name, in pres.-

ence of two witnesses, this 29th day of November,1880.-

r CARL BAOHEM. Witnesses:
